When Xu Jince went to pick up people in the palace, he had already cleaned up the yard for the county lord. It is also strange to say that there is no female dependent in the huge Zhenbei Palace, and all the people who come and go are men.

Although there were no maidservants in the third brother's yard before, the uncle sent a few later, and they were also sent away by the third brother. But the third brother is relatively clean, and there are not so many people in the yard, so there is not much sense of disobedience in the real house.

And Zhenbei Wangfu is different, the people who come and go to work are tall and unsmiling. At first glance, he was born in the military, and he is skilled, and even the people who sweep the yard are upright.

"Sixth brother, here...... Not all of them are like that!"

"Yes. The people who usually work in this courtyard can go to the battlefield to fight, and they are all good hands. ”

Nalan Jinxiu originally wanted to take a bath, but when she thought of letting such a person boil bath water for herself, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. It is the duty of soldiers to defend their families and the country, and what they deserve is respect, and she is indeed a little embarrassed to call them.

Ji Hongxuan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said slowly: "There is not so much attention to marching and fighting, many times I cook and eat by myself, and in our house, there is a cook lady who is a woman." ”

Nalan Jinxiu: "......"

"I don't think you've brought two maidservants, just let them wait for you, and you can do the rest of the rough work. ”

Nalan Jinxiu: "......"

Ji Hongxuan saw that she was still stunned, and urged angrily: "Do you still want to take a bath, if you want to wash, hurry up, my brother is still waiting for us to eat." ”

Nalan Jinxiu didn't have time to be hypocritical, and entered the Star Picking Building. Ji Xiang Ruyi has already cleaned up at this time, and she, the master, is really comfortable and has nothing to do.

As soon as she entered the house, Nalan Jinxiu felt inexplicably familiar. Xu Jinsheng was still very young when he left here, and his memory was vague, but after looking at the layout in the room, for some reason, Nalan Jinxiu suddenly burst into tears. Xu is Xu Jinsheng's body, I really feel that I haven't seen it for a long time, this is her home after all. Nalan Jinxiu closed his eyes, and such a scene appeared in his mind:

The gentle woman was holding a little girl in her arms, and that little girl was born Yuxue cute, which was Xu Jinsheng when he was a child. A tall man with a little boy riding around his neck smiled heartily: "Ah Yu, look at how well our children are born." ”

The woman looked up, looked at her son and husband, lowered her head and kissed her daughter's cheek, smiling sweetly and gently.

Ah Yu is the name of Xu Jinsheng's mother.

Later, Ah Yu died.

The little girl's eyes widened in horror as she looked at the woman in her father's arms, her face pale and bloodless, and she was no longer breathing. She was too young to know what death meant, but she also knew that her mother would never wake up again.

She cried loudly and called out to her mother. The little boy had grown into a little teenager, hugged his sister tightly, and comforted her in a hoarse voice: "Sheng'er doesn't cry, my brother is here." ”

Later, my father would always go to war. Only two children are left in the huge palace to depend on each other. The boy grew up to be like his father, galloping on the battlefield. And his sister is still weak and small.

The carriage that took her to Jinling City was already waiting at the door, and the little girl took her brother's hand and cried and said, "Brother, do you and your father think that Sheng'er is superfluous?

The young man knelt down on one knee and hugged his sister tightly in his arms, and said, "Mother has died, and there is no one in the palace to teach you, and when you go to Jinling to see your grandmother, she will be like your mother and treat you well." ”

"I don't want to go to Jinling, I want to be with my brother. ”

"When you grow up, my brother will take you back. ”

The little girl left, and she saw that handsome young man, growing up and becoming stronger, and gradually overlapping with today's Xu Jince. Xu Jince loves his sister so much, if he knew that Xu Jinsheng had already died, I don't know how sad he would be?

They have been together for too long, so long that she, an outsider, feels that this family affection is warm and real. Since she occupies Xu Jinsheng's body, she must do a good job of Xu Jinsheng and not let her relatives down.

Nalan Jinxiu took a heavy bath, thinking about the men in this courtyard, there was no need to dress up carefully. Just simply coiled his hair in a bun, faced the sky plainly, and changed into a thin cotton plain jacket, Chiyang City was much colder than Jinling City.

Ji Hongxuan waited in the yard all the time, and when he saw her come out, he took her to dinner. Don't forget to nag: "Aunt Sun made wontons today, which are stuffed with mushrooms and shrimps, and my brother said that you liked to eat them when you were a child." ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded and said leisurely: "My mother likes to eat this stuffed wonton, Chiyang City is cold, and the mushroom growth season is very short." My father dried the shiitake mushrooms to make grain, soaked them in boiling water in winter, and used them to make wontons. ”

This scene in Xu Jinsheng's memory is very clear, his father led a team of soldiers to pick mushrooms all over the mountains. Ah Yu sat in the tent with her in his arms and gently told her stories.

Ji Hongxuan's smile became more and more kind: "I haven't heard you talk about it when you were a child before." ”

"It's been so long, and I can't remember a lot of it. ”

The two chatted all the way, and soon arrived at Lanyue Pavilion. There are pine trees planted in the courtyard of Lanyue Pavilion, and the climate in northern Xinjiang is cold and cold, and the pine trees are evergreen. The rows look very neat, although not as delicate as the flowers, but the lush ones are quite beautiful.

Xu Jince had already finished taking a bath, and when he saw that his sister hadn't arrived yet, he thought that the girl's house was always grinding, so he took the military book and sat under the tree to read. He was already extremely handsome, and he didn't look as majestic as usual.

Nalan Jinxiu saw him as soon as he entered the courtyard, in fact, speaking of which, Xu Jince is really an excellent brother. Not to mention all the love for Xu Jinsheng in his memory, even the meticulousness he took to her along the way, which is enough to prove that he really loves this only sister very much.

Xu Jince also saw them, took the military book and stepped forward. He knocked Nalan Jinxiu's forehead with a rolled book, and said with a smile: "You are really grinding." ”

Nalan Jinxiu rubbed her forehead and muttered, "This is already fast, but it's much slower than usual." ”

Xu Jince smiled silently, and talked to Ji Hongxuan about the recent form. Most of them are also the Northern Yan people picking quarrels and harassments, and there is no big situation. Nalan Jinxiu didn't understand this, she saw that Xu Jince had raised a turtle, so she teased it.

As expected, the one who served the food was also a tall and burly young man, who was different from the little maids raised by the sons of the Jinling City family, and he walked with a wind. Moreover, the people who served the dishes were very curious about the county lord, and they couldn't help but dare to take a few looks.

Nalan Jinxiu had seen everyone when she was practicing medicine outside, but she was not afraid of others looking at her, she only bowed her head and ate her own food in a regular manner. In the past, after they finished serving food to Shizi, they would stay by the side for a while, and sometimes they would accompany Shizi to drink a few cups, but today they all went out to line up after serving food.

Ji Hongxuan smiled: "I couldn't see it before, these boys are so eye-catching." ”

Xu Jince looked at Nalan Jinxiu but fell into deep thought, and said slowly: "There have been no female dependents in the palace for these years, and you haven't bought girls, if you are not used to it, you will buy a few tomorrow." Be sure to pick and choose the honest one. Xu Jince thought that these young people in the courtyard had no experience in contact with girls, so don't buy girls who don't do their duty, and they have right and wrong.

As soon as Nalan Jinxiu stuffed the wontons into his mouth, he nodded in response, and said yes vaguely. Xu Jince probably thought of something again, and said solemnly: "Chiyang City is unstable, I will send you a guard, and he will follow you wherever you go in the future." ”

"Guards?" Nalan Jinxiu wanted to say, aren't the guards all men, wouldn't it be appropriate for her to follow her wherever she goes?

Xu Jince didn't allow her to refuse, and sandwiched a piece of mutton for her before saying, "I'll let you see him after eating." Also, you eat some meat, don't always eat those greens. ”

Nalan Jinxiu put the mutton back into Xu Jince's bowl and said stubbornly: "I don't like to eat mutton." ”

"Then eat this rabbit meat, it's delicious. ”

"I don't like rabbit meat either. ”

"What about this, hoof tendons. ”

"Don't. ”

"This little rib is always fine!"

"Don't. ”

"That'...... Fish, okay?"

Nalan Jinxiu looked at it and nodded reluctantly, not looking so reluctant. Xu Jince sighed and said helplessly: "What do you want to eat tomorrow and tell the kitchen in advance." ”

"I just don't like meat anyway. ”

"That's not good, it's cold in northern Xinjiang, so you need to eat more meat. ”

After getting along these days, Nalan Jinxiu has a preliminary understanding of Xu Jince. He was quite strict in governing the army, but he was extremely conniving with her. Therefore, no matter what general everyone called him, she was still not afraid of him at all. glanced at him suspiciously, "But isn't it spring now, and how long can it be cold?" ”

Xu Jince, however, saw that she was too slender and wanted her to eat more and make up for it. I didn't expect this girl to be easy to deceive at all, so I could only compromise: "Okay! Listen to you, we will eat whatever you say." ”

Ji Hongxuan watched the conversation between their brother and sister, and he could see that his brother was very obedient to Jin'er. It is estimated that if his sister wants to go up to the house to uncover the tiles, he may have to move a ladder over.

Xu Jince and Ji Hongxuan drank barley wine. Barley is a specialty of Chiyang, used to make wine, the taste is very mellow, and there is a particularly long aroma of wine. On weekdays, the army was not allowed to drink alcohol, and only when the weather was extremely cold, some would be given to the soldiers to warm up.

They were not on the march now, but they were really happy today, so they bought some wine and came back. Nalan Jinxiu asked for a small cup and put it in front of him and smelled it for a long time, always feeling that the taste was a little familiar. She took a small sip, and suddenly thought of the master, he has such a taste on his body, could it be that he is from Chiyang City?
